 Petition No. 64 - Minister's Response: Finance Canada - Department of (FIN)
The Department of Finance is a policy-oriented department focused largely on providing advice on the broad fiscal and economic affairs of Canada, on social policy development and the financial management of federal social programs.
The only areas where the department leads on policy development, are with respect to the financial sector, tax and tariff legislation, managing federal borrowing on financial markets and administration of major transfers to the provinces and territories.
This is the Department's "central agency" role, in which Finance officials serve as members of a broader team that includes federal officials from other departments and review options for, and the implications of, proposals that are presented to Cabinet.

 Comments of Department of Finance of Canada on S7-15-03
On behalf of the Department of Finance, I would like to commend the efforts undertaken by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address the national treatment concerns that have arisen from Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Given the robustness of Canada's regulatory approach, I believe this outcome would be both unintended and inconsistent with the SEC's stated goal of extending national treatment to foreign banks subject to similar regulation.
Canadian banks are subject to consolidated and comprehensive regulation and supervision, as provided for in Canada's Bank Act and undertaken by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

Since most U.S. competent authority cases likely involve Canada as the counterpart, this represents a significant and troubling decline from fiscal year 1997 when 99 percent of cases were fully resolved.

 TEI–Department of Finance Liaison Meeting Agenda:
Please clarify the Department of Finance's interpretation of the words "rendered to" in section 7 of Part V of Schedule VI.
In proposing subsection 136.1(1.1), the Department of Finance asserts that the "standard periodic payments" under a lease and the "exercising of an option to purchase" under a lease are to be considered individually.
For firms not resident in Canada, however, it may be inappropriate to combine the total value of all considerations made inside or outside Canada as part of the small supplier threshold.
